Topline:

More than 100 vote centers across Los Angeles County open on Saturday, Oct. 29, ahead of the 2022 General Election.

Where can I vote? The L.A. County Registrar of Voters has a map with all the locations and times. More than 600 vote centers will open this year, but the rest will open closer to election day, Nov. 8.

Wait, couldn’t I vote in person before? Yes, but that was only at one location — the L.A. County Registrar headquarters in Norwalk. These openings mean you have more places in L.A. County to pick from. They’re open daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. until election day, when the polls will have longer hours.

What help can I get at a vote center? Election workers are available to help at all voting locations. Vote centers have accessible voting machines with adjustable angles, ballot-marking devices, audio options and more. You can also do curbside voting by calling a posted number when you arrive. A worker will bring a ballot out to your car.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
